Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, Which is YOU
Beauty is something you may be struggling with; you’re in good company. At some point, everyone’s there. You’ve heard of the phrase, “Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” This is especially true when it comes to a healthy sense of self-esteem or self-love. The thing you should do today to increase your own inner peace, self-esteem and/or self-love is to OWN your beauty.
Do you struggle with this? Take full responsibility when it comes to your own emotions, as opposed to blame the external world for how you’re feeling. (You know, the models, the fashion industry, pop culture, etc.) You can’t control anyone else but yourself. Life is less about what happens to you and more about how you react to it. The same thing goes for your own beauty. Have a healthy reaction to who you are and what you look like.
So, you’re not perfect…so what?
Nothing and nobody is perfect—perfect is for things like Heaven and Nirvana.
You don’t live there. You live on Planet Earth, the Land of Imperfection. So get over concepts like “perfect” and “near perfect.” Nobody’s there. If it seems like someone’s there, it’s an illusion; they have spin-doctors doing a damn good job for them. Trust.
Make a decision that how you look is perfect for you, where you are, right here, right now. You want to get thinner? As long as that’s part of an overall plan to get healthier, okay. But right now, even with the extra pounds going on, believe that you’re beautiful. NOW.
You choose what you focus on, so instead of obsessing about your imperfections, why don’t you choose the mindset to celebrate what’s great instead?
Sure, put the plan in place to lose the weight, get that haircut, master that much-needed manicure, whatever. It’s healthy to invest in yourself, to take good care of yourself, etc.
But in the meantime, give yourself an atta girl for what you’ve got going on that already works!
An attitude adjustment like this can often have immediate consequences. You’ll feel better about what’s right and will have a stronger sense of self-worth as you work on whatever’s wrong right now. You won’t be marinating in misery because you’re seasoning yourself with healthy thoughts and positive outlooks whenever and wherever possible.
Do everything you can to give credit to your own unique beauty so you can increase the peace within your soul. You’d be sure to tell someone else what makes them beautiful if they came to you all down in the dumps. So…do that for yourself!
You deserve it…and the harder your life currently is, the more you deserve it!
Dig deep to love yourself first, foremost and always. No one can ever love you better than yourself, because they’re not in your head and able to read every last thought and do every last thing right for you. Only YOU can do that!
Own that beauty! Every last dimple, laugh line…your pretty eyes or that megawatt smile.
So…woo…YOU…to be the happiest girl you can be, living out your WHY and achieving your S.M.A.A.R.T. goals!
